- A. 990
- B. 990
- C. 990
- D. 990
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
The number that would be divisible by the L.C.M of 6, 20, 24 is the correct answer option
Now, the L.C.M of 6, 20,, 24 is found.
2 6, 20, 24
3 3, 10, 12
2 1, 10, 4
1, 5, 2
So L.C.M = 2×3×2×5×2=120
Now, only 960 is divisible by 120, so 960 is the correct answer.
